Action off Great Inagua

The Action off Great Inagua (September 1715) was fought between a small force of 8 Spanish Navy gunboats and the pirate Edward Kenway's brig Jackdaw off the coast of Great Inagua in the Bahamas. The Jackdaw had been tailing the massive Spanish galleon El Arca del Maestro, as Kenway sought to capture the ship for use on the defenses of Nassau, and El Arca del Maestro repulsed an attack by Charles Vane's ship, Ranger along the way. The Jackdaw suddenly faced eight Spanish gunboats, and El Arca del Maestro headed to port as the Jackdaw engaged and sunk all eight gunboats. After Kenway sunk the Spanish ships, he proceeded to head for Great Inagua, and his capture of El Arca del Maestro would occur on land after he assassinated Du Casse.
